Seller refusing to honour sale.

You should report the seller to eBay as a non performing seller, then neg him, it was his mistake and as such he should take the losses / consequences,

oh yes, and eBayripoff, I don't know who you are but by the sounds of what you post on here, you should probably be banned from eBay

This is true, you will never get back that millisecond that it takes to click 'bid'. How can you go on?

It does change things if it was a mistake or was done on purpose, and the auction did not work out as expected!

I am not sure what you guys do for a living, I assume in you work place if you do a mistake they deduct you for a days pay? or maybe a weeks pay?

So if you have that kind of conditions in your work space, and feel that is fair, I agree, report him and negative him, as let the !!!!!!! get what he deserves, because really deserves to go out of business and join the dole cue instead of trying to sell on a market place and make a living.

If you sure he did it on purpose, yes no disagreement!

Yes well I am not, I got several thousands of positive feedbacks, all positive, 100% from over 10 years!

And I have several thousand happy customers, because I give them the best service I can provide!

So until you know what I know about eBay/Paypal - I let my case rest - still I am looking very much forward to put eBay on the scrap heap now very soon!

eBay says otherwise; "each bid you make is a binding contract to buy the item if you win"

And this is true, however thank god eBays T and C's are not UK or European law!

You should, but you can't be forced, do you understand the difference of this?

UK law says so too: section 57(2) Sale of Goods Act 1979;

A sale by auction is complete when the auctioneer announces its completion by the fall of the hammer, or in other customary manner;

Well to your good news, eBay is not considered an auctioneer, that's why distance seller regulations applies to eBay/online sales!

So I am sorry you are a bit confused with your lawmaking.

If a shop wrongly advertised a product, they are not forced to sell the product to you at that price! Same goes here!

It appears that you are the one who is confused.

The distance selling regulations only apply to ebay BIN items (from business sellers) and not items sold by auction.

If ebay are not considered auctioneers, why the difference between BIN and auction items?

Yes, I've heard that argument before. Can you back it up?

No it isn't. Distance seller regulations apply to eBay sales that meet the definition of distance sales. How the sale prices are determined is neither here nor there.

They are once the contract is concluded. On eBay the contract is concluded when the eBay terms and conditions say the contract is concluded - "each bid you make is a binding contract to buy the item if you win".
